- SShivaniLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoLouLou is such an undiscovered gem! This restaurant gives off perfect “Miami” vibes! The ambiance and decor is Tulum themed and super similar to Mila or Casa Neos in Miami or Juniper’s Garden in LA. Live DJ with loud dancey house/pop music makes it feel like the perfect dinner party. Just wish is continued into a club at the end. Food was pretty good too and service was friendly.More infoLoulou Rooftop Restaurant and LoungePrice: Expensive• French• Santa Monica•4.6
